If you run longer distances, we probably don’t need to introduce you to the benefits of compression socks. If you’re only just starting your adventure with longer routes – we have a feeling you’ll become really good friends with these accessories.
Compression socks are a type of socks designed to do a specific job – their purpose is to increase blood circulation and reduce muscle vibration while running. They have several key functions that long-distance runners will appreciate.
Compression sleeves are an important part of a runner’s outfit (they work similarly to running socks, but do not cover the feet). They are used to increase blood circulation, reduce muscle vibration and reduce the risk of injury. Who should be interested in them?
Runners with a high level of activity: people who run longer distances or at a fast pace. Compression sleeves for running can help reduce the risk of injury, as well as help minimise symptoms of muscle pain and fatigue.
People with blood circulation issues: people who suffer from blood circulation problems will also feel the benefits of wearing compression sleeves. Sleeves can help increase blood flow and reduce swelling, which can help prevent conditions related to blood circulation.
People with a history of muscle injuries: people who suffer from frequent muscle injuries (cramps, strains or injuries caused by shocks) will notice the benefits of wearing compression sleeves – they will help reduce muscle vibration while running and prevent injuries from occurring
We design our men’s compression socks with long runs over varied terrain in mind. The ergonomic shape ensures an optimal fit to the feet (and let’s be honest – after the “nth” kilometre, even the slightest discomfort can be irritating). High cuffs protect against leg injury from stones, branches and grass. The compression elements of men’s running socks enhance and speed up muscle recovery. They also make your legs less tired over solid distances.
ATTIQ men’s running socks make it easier to ventilate the feet, regulate temperature and wick moisture away quickly. In selected models, raised structural elements located under the foot and above the heel create space for flow and protect against the foot slipping during descents; they also prevent calluses and chafing.
At ATTIQ you will also find compression socks for women. Remember that, in addition to the functions listed above, compression running socks support blood circulation (oxygenating the muscles) and also help reduce toxins. To feel the effects of compression best, it’s worth using women’s compression socks during long and demanding training sessions and right after exertion – anyone who has run and worn them knows how pleasant it is!
Alright, and now a few words as a reminder why it’s worth coming to ATTIQ for women’s and men’s running socks.
